With the exception of Hawaii, the common denominator seems to be that all these states have some fairly severe winter weather. So, I'm going to go with that. Cold weather keeps people indoors and lowers the incidences of gun violence.

377 killed over 25 years How many people died in cars in 25 years? How many died because of doctors malpractice? How many died from a trip or fall? how many died of food contamination? How many Americans died in plane crashes over 25 years?

don't get me wrong 377 dead but seams like a very very low number over 25 years.

Those deaths in CO and WI are horible. I wonder how many people were killed with illegal guns in the past 30 days. If you want to deter gun crime, you need to put more cops on the street armed with the data of where the gun crimes are happening and when. DA and Judges need to send these illegal gun toting criminals to jail.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

Put it up against a chart.... comparing people killed by DUI drivers, car accidents, and who died from optional surgeries. Then, take out the shootings by good guys & police that were justified.... and they wouldn't have anything to talk about.

I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. --- Will Rogers --- Chief Justice John Roberts : "I don't see how you can read Heller and not take away from it the notion that the Second Amendment...was extremely important to the framers in their view of what liberty meant."
